The Karbonn Smart A55i sports a 3.5 inch IPS LCD multi touch display with a HVGA resolution of 320x480 pixels and a pixel density of 165 ppi. Under the hood, the smartphone poses a 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor and a mere 256MB RAM which is bound to slow down processes. It runs on Android v4.4 KitKat OS out of the box.

The Karbonn Smart A55i features a VGA camera with LED flash at the back and a VGA snapper on the front. It has a paltry 512MB internal memory which will pose problems as soon as load a number of apps. However, you can expand it up to 32GB.

Keeping the Karbonn Smart A55i juiced up is a 1100mAh Li-ion battery. You can connect this device with other gadgets and networks via GPRS/EDGE, USB port, WiFi, Bluetooth and USB port.

Verdict

If you are too tight on budget but want to try your hands on the latest perks from Android, you can shortlist the Karbonn Smart A55i. Although the absence of sound configuration is justified considering the price, the lack of 3G connectivity is a big disappointment.
